   You have to write some code, I don't know of any built-in utility
   to do this.

   The code needs to do an RMS $OPEN, set the value of the last byte
   used in the last block (I'm not sure which RMS data structure that
   is in off th etop of my head), and close the file ($CLOSE).

   All the required information is in the RMS manuals.
